I had to have a cutout for my starter too. Doesn't come into the trunk a lot but wouldn't fit under (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . Ditto on the clutch arm. I have a return line on my setup (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . Can't remember if there is a pressure regulator. Don't remember there being one there by my pump (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) . Damn another thing I can't go out & look for you. I am finally getting to know my setup better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) . One drawback to not doing the conversion myself originally.

Great progress!

You must be LOVING that lift!

Solid rivets eh?

I wonder what I ever did with my 1st bucking bar I made in school?

Yeah I agree, your axles should be fine like that. Take a look at 914 axles. They're a lot more angled upward than those are sideways.

Have you found the service manual for that engine? What year and car would it have come out of? Seems impossible not to have a return line.

Not impossible, lots of EFI systems don't have return lines, just a little odd to us since we have lived with them for so long. My son's old Civic did not have one, fuel pressured reg is before the inlet, so it backs up pressure onto the pump. Wears out the pump faster? But Honda saved $10000000s on the lack of return line over the production run of the car.

The lift is awesome!!!! It is easily the best purchase I have made in a long time. I was able to remove my engine/transmission twice today with out a single jack stand and without any help.

Chris, the engine is a 2007 2.5 SOHC. I have found adjustable regulators that have a bypass.

I would like to know how Subaru is achieving the same thing.

Sent you a PM. Your eyes will be tired soon. Give the engine section a read and see what the FI setup looks like. My brain can't absorb any more Subaru diagrams.

It turns out that Subaru moved the fuel pressure regulator to the fuel tank in 2006. I gave Outfront Motorsports a call to purchase a regulator with a bypass. All I can say is they are an awesome group of guys!!!! Instead of selling me a new part that I didn't need they provided a solution. I am going to tap into the far side of the rail/line and simply install a regulator.

It's runs! I started my Subaru conversion last night for the first time. I am not sure my neighbors were as excited about it as me. It ran with an open header. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) It was loud.

I still have to complete the axles, mount the ECU and install the shift cables. I am getting close!

You are correct. AN 426's.

Your build thread has been an inspiration. I have read it several times! I am getting ready to start my hydraulic clutch build. I am using the info that you and Chris posted in your thread. Do you have any tips that might help it go smoothly?

Ignore my bolt hole dimensions. If you can grab an old brake MC, use it as a drill guide for your bolt holes and of course you will have the clutch MC to use as a guide for the other 2 bolt holes. When the plate is drilled out, place it in a vice and center the holes horizontally. Then mount the clutch MC and twist the plate 3 degrees down. I use a large pipe wrench and grab the plate around the mounted MC. Having the MC bolted down keeps the plate from twisting the flat surface the MC mounts to. Use the center of the large hole on the clutch master as a guide to locate center of the hole you will drill in the floorboard. Your going to love that conversion your building and you won't be afraid to drive cross country in it, either. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Thank you very much for the help! I am really looking forward to driving it. I hope to drive to the RRC next year.

It's pretty rewarding when it fires up isn't it? Nice. Just got back from a lap in mine. Clutch still works great. That plate Kent made is the key.

Chris, I have been working on the car non-stop for the last couple of months. It was very nice to hear the engine fire up for the first time. It helps keep the momentum up. I would like to drive the car before the snow starts to fall.

It is good to hear that the clutch mod is still working out well. It looked like a solid install and smart design. I really appreciate that you and Kent took the time to figure it out and share it with everyone here. You guys Rock! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

Jamie, The EMS Stinger and Outfront wiring harness sure made the electrical install easy. Thanks for helping me decide to go that way when you were here in Denver.

I just wrapped up the cable shift install. Next on the list is the hydraulic clutch.
